We are heading out with the 2 kids for the whole of August on a road trip in the campervan.

Ideally we're looking at staying at shady campsites near to awesome cliffs that get loads of shade/are north facing. If rivers/ lakes/ pools nearby that is a bonus too.

We're completely flexible as far as where to go and were wondering if anyone had any good pointers...
In reply to Jus: You could check out the Forge du Diable on your way down through France.Climbed there no problem last July - loads of shade. If this crag was in the UK it would be top rated, as it is, it is a quiet backwater.
It's also right by a river.

Gorge du Loup...? Shady crags, fun river to dick about in, high up and breezy, but close to the Med, great routes.

Briancon? I had a couple of trips out to the area pre-child and am now trying to scheme family hols there with friends who have kids and climb.

It's a nice place, pretty stable weather and plenty to do.

Enjoy wherever you end up!

I've got a friend who lives in a little hamlet right by that those crags, that was an option...

Gorge du Loup, Ariege, Briancon all sound good.

What's Ceuse like in August? Is the campsite shady?

Trees aplenty on the campsite from what I remember at ceuse...
